Night Without End
Chapter 1330 - 565: Affection
"Matchmaking?!" Qin Ming was startled, feeling a momentary illusion as if he was mistakenly entering the mundane world.
Soon after, he nodded knowingly.
In this foreign war, all sides suffered heavy losses, whether it was the old mountain top above the Nine Heavens or the extraordinary great influences entrenched on the ground; all wanted to take the opportunity to select potential dragons and immortal seedlings, thus choosing a son-in-law or accepting disciples became the most effective and solid choice.
Su Mohua’s eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, her green hair draping to her waist, shiny enough to reflect a person. She laughed and said, "Master, you have attracted the attention of many major families. Recently, several famous fairies have subtly inquired about you."
Qin Ming was glowing with delight, saying, "I know I’m handsome, but I didn’t expect to be this popular."
Su Mohua was at a loss for what to say, thinking to herself, shouldn’t you be a bit humble, Master?
Behind them, Bai Meng found it amusing that Brother Ming could be so narcissistic. He soon realized it was actually Qin Ming’s self-mockery.
"Such thick skin!" remarked Tang Yushang, who walked behind, with her chin raised.
Qin Ming asked, "Mo Hua, did anything happen to you in the Flying Land?"
Suddenly, Su Mohua’s face turned white, feeling a lingering fear. During this expedition, she was nearly abducted when a Black Flame Bird from the Heavenly Clan crushed her shoulder, fortunately, a Grandmaster rescued her.
As they spoke, they had already entered the bustling area of Sky City.
In the sky, a Silver Plate hung high, casting bright moonlight. It was a high-grade Moon Worm. Nearby, numerous "fire insects" fluttered, resembling countless stars twinkling in the sky.
The night in Sky City was glittering and not silent; it continued to bustle with traffic. The Jade Towers and Silver Palaces were brightly lit, bathed in moonlight, amidst the extravagance of nightlife.
Su Mohua said, "Oh, Master, if you weren’t my master..."
Bai Meng immediately perked up, asking, "What would happen?"
His heart burned with gossip, thinking every beating has its reason. He was always this way, though after Brother Ming recklessly thrashed him at the Great Leiyin Temple, he had some inner shadow and restrained himself temporarily. But as his relationship with Brother Ming improved, he reverted to being unabashedly himself.
Su Mohua was somewhat embarrassed, saying, "Originally, our Su Family also wanted to choose a son-in-law..."
"I knew it!" Bai Meng almost slapped his thigh red with excitement, thrilled to hear such juicy gossip.
Then his head swelled as Tang Yushang slapped him thrice on the back of his head.
Su Mohua continued, "Originally, my family wanted my sister. Unfortunately, you are my master, and that wouldn’t be good."
"Ah?" Bai Meng felt like he got the wrong gossip, quite disappointed.
At this moment, they were already near the Su Mansion. The Su Family intended to host Qin Ming, inviting them to stay here.
Su Moran was not far away, waiting outside to welcome them, and Gao Chan seemed like a shadow, having gotten the news ahead and followed over.
Clearly, Su Moran heard those conversations, his face slightly stiff, and Gao Chan’s ears twitched lightly, his whole face darkened on the spot.
In this expensive area of Sky City, the Su Family’s mansion was quite large. Not to mention the pavilion palaces; even the Spirit Peaks shrouded in immortal fog had multiple.
However, the mansion involved fragmented Cave Heaven techniques, making its appearance not as large as it actually was.
"Mo Hua, don’t speak nonsense," Gao Chan remarked. His left sleeve was empty, floating lightly. He had been severely injured in the Flying Land, missing a part... of his arm.
The scene grew awkward. Qin Ming declined the invitation, ultimately not staying at the Su Mansion.
A bit farther away, Bai Meng asked, "Old Pei, you are too calm."
Pei Shuyan somewhat regretted coming. The so-called matchmaking party had nothing to do with him. He was carefree, with a sense of waking alone among a world full of drunken dreams, finally couldn’t help but comment, "All men are mediocre."
Qin Ming and Bai Meng looked at each other speechless. At this rate, Old Pei was on the brink of achieving sainthood amidst the mundane!
Did people say otherwise? Tang Yushang almost couldn’t maintain her cold and aloof Heavenly Immortal demeanor, glancing sideways at Old Pei.
Not long after, Qin Ming exclaimed,"Whoa, Da Tang, are you a rich lady? You have properties in the sky!"
"What nonsense!" Tang Yushang only rolled her eyes at him, without a hint of bright spiritual eye pupils.
"Sis, do we have a mansion in the sky at Tai Xu?" Bai Meng was also stunned; he didn’t even know.
Tang Yushang replied, "It was purchased a long time ago. Only until recently, when the old ancestor ascended did we reopen the array and tidy up this garden."
What is heritage? This is it—having properties in the sky.
Qin Ming sighed; the descendants of the Lord of Yujing lived in Tai Xu, indeed having deep foundations.
"The old ancestor is here too?" Bai Meng was slightly nervous.
"Yes," Tang Yushang nodded.
Instantly, Qin Ming and Pei Shuyan straightened their bodies and politely excused themselves, truly not wanting to stay under the Earth Immortal’s watchful eyes.
Even Bai Meng tagged along to "run away from home," intending to wander the city with Qin Ming.
The last time, they trained at the Barbaric Forest outside the bustling area and entered the city but never truly explored this world-renowned Immortal City.
Tonight, they walked under the moonlight.
"This... the celestial Immortal City feels quite worldly."
In their previous understanding, a city transcending the earth and hanging beyond the world should be ethereal, detached, hazy, unconcerned with the world, and surrounded by Immortal’s spirit essence.
But the reality was, the city lights were as bright as day, its bustling districts filled with silver towers, jade pavilions in tight rows, people flowing like looms, extraordinarily lively.
Though they had some realization last time, tonight’s thorough night exploration deepened their ’insight’.
